"I know his family for a long time, and they are very humble people," said Faiz Ahmad, a Pabbi villager. "I met Shahzad a year ago. … I found him to be very calm and quiet."

Wake up. He's not that calm, not that quiet, and in fact ...he's deadly. Why are journalists wasting their times getting quotes like this?

The Pressmen's Club is composed of men and women who have printed the paper for twenty years or more. Semi-annual dinners are held in March and October. See Ed Padgett for more information.
